Listener No 4327 The Alcoholic Baseball Player By Waterloo

Hoho!! Cracker-style literary jokes from Mr Waterloo ... some suitably making one groan, others raising a broad smile: I particularly liked 40ac. Gentle romp. Happy New Year to all ABers and many...

Listener No 4323 Artix Onepo

Oh but this was tough. Has Artix managed to silence the Friday Club? Indeed we struggled but what a cunningly constructed grid and convincing finale. Many thanks, Artix for yet another masterpiece of...

Listener 4322 By Radix

How sad to see the last puzzle by Radix. Of course he treats us to a range of devices. We have just found the source with a great sigh of relief but still have lots of systematic calculation to...

Listener 4320: Shrive By Llig

What my old maths master would have described as "one for the rabbits", but enjoyable nevertheless. Thanks, Llig....

Listener 4318: Wordplay By Schadenfreude

Surely not two weeks in a row! Not the hardest Schadenfreude there's ever been, but a nice puzzle and a splendid PDM. Thanks, big S.

Listener 4316: Delightful Punishment By Mynot

I've searched using several keywords but can't find another thread so ... This was a rewarding puzzle: once the penny drops you think, "yes, of course; why didn't I spot that earlier?" Many thanks...

Listener No 4315 Homer By Dysart

Very enjoyable, thanks, Dysart. I am just getting the scissors out to mutilate my grid (not as fiddly and worrying as I initially feared it might be!) Finding those ten letters missing from wordplay...

Listener No 4314 Renewable Energy By 'eck

What a brilliant use of the circular grid. This has been a remarkable piece of compiling and an extremely difficult puzzle which became easier as we progressed (suddenly dramatically so!)....

Oh dear ... another puzzle with straightforward clues. The endgame was more interesting, however. We must have a stinker coming up....

Listener 4309: Shades Of Green By Gos

Thanks to Gos for featuring one of my favourites. I did think, though, that many of the clues were Times Cryptic (or even the easy cryptic) standard rather than Listener. It must have been hard to get...

Listener Crossword No 4308 Sub-Prime More-Guess Relief By Ruslan

A fairly easy solve in contrast to the rather complicated preamble. I haven't tried to work out the title yet! Farewell Ruslan - you will be missed....

Listener Crossword 4307 - Spiral Of Salami And Walnuts By Wan

What a delight, on another theme about which I was previously ignorant. Would have been much tougher without the generosity of the setter. Particularly liked 33 down. Thanks Wan....

All done, unless there are alternative (and possibly more interesting) meanings to the fourth and third last words of the instruction.

Listener 4303: Qvwke Vbcfa By Nutmeg

Good fun, with sufficiently straightforward clues to render it not too challenging. I think 'across the grid' must be interpreted as 'all the way across the grid' to resolve ambiguities in entering...

Listener 4302: When All Else Fails By Ottorino

Well, I paid my subscription in the end, and a puzzle like this makes it worth while. Mind you, I don't know how anybody could complete it without an early PDM allowing almost 3/4 of the grid to be...

Listener 4298 Safari By Nibor
